Thank you Dustin for the title of this blog...
On Saturday, Matt and I had a gathering of friends at our house of a housewarming/Colleen's Birthday party! As usual, there were lots of familiar faces, drinks and food! I have to pat myself on the back for the menu: mozzarella, artichokes, red peppers and basil on a toothpick (so good!), marinated chicken, beef and shrimp on skewers with dipping sauces consisting of honey mustard, peanut sauce and a soy sauce mixture (again...delicious!) and some staples of mexican dip ( thanks to Sue and Erik) chips and pretzels. Everyone loved the food; Mike just wasn't thrilled with the honey mustard dip. I also made a huge pitcher of sangria which I thought was absolutely amazing! Matt got to use his grill and wears his Cubs apron while I got to use alot of dishes I haven't been able ot use. I also had a chance to see Dustin and Mike; two close friends of ours that live in NYC and Boston respectively and as usual, they are the life of the party. My girls from home, Kristin and Meghan, along with Brian (Meg's BF) came for a while. As usual, when I decide to do something, Kristin gets sick with an ear infection and stomach virus. She was a trooper and came with me to Stop n Shop to pick up the rest of the essentials including lemons, limes and tea to ease her stomach pain (which might I add worked very very well...YogiTea stomach ease works wonders...trust me!) Anyway, the night was everything I could hope for! Matt and I are getting a handle on this whole entertaining business and we are so excited to be able to get together our friends like this!
